The Mail Bag

Unlucky, now lets bounce back!

That was the first game we really missed our African trio, but that's only because of the quality of the opposition! Cahill was expected to do Yakubu's job and hold the ball up but that just isn't him and had Yobo and Pienaar been there then we would have had a threat down the left (due to Lescott then being able to play left back)!

Chelsea had a gameplan and stuck to it perfectly, always having 8 or 9 behind the ball and usually about 3 of those on Arteta, then catching us on the break! Also we just needed a little luck like the couple of times when the ball pinged off Cech and could have gone anywhere, however it always seemed to fall to a Chelsea players foot!

Gutted, but well done Everton, back to the league now and let's bounce back like we have done after every other defeat and show Spurs why they are 15 points behind us in the prem! COYB!

Spot on Dan. With no game this weekend the players now have a couple of days to go away and lick their wounds, before changing our focus to a very winnable Spurs game (they play away to Utd on Sunday too remember).

We’ve then only got 1, posibley 2 more games before the Africans are back and they’re against Reading and Blackburn. Let’s make sure we’re still fourth by then. COYB!

Let’s face it,we came up short yet again.Out of two cups in a fortnight -good job we’re not playing our next Euro match for a while.Moyes is still eons away from troubling the top sides-but we had our dream which is something!
